  My 5-10yr crypto "investment thesis": - ETH - DeFi - Layer 2's/scaling - Privacy-focused tech - Cross-L2/chain bridges - NFT infrastructure (+ some NFTs like punks) - Crypto-gaming I know 5-10yrs is forever in crypto but I'm confident that Ethereum is going to eat the world.

  Modular Blockchains

  

  ChainLinkGod.eth 2.0 @ChainLinkGod

  Optimistic Rollups, zkRollups, Valdiums, and Volitions means a shift from a monolithic blockchain model to segregating security, data availability, and execution into different layers This is key to not just the mitigating the blockchain scalability trilemma, but inverting it

  Vortex of Value

  

  AminCad Ξ🐬🔊 @AminCad

  In Q1 2021, ETH settled $1.5 trillion in transactions, more than all other blockchains combined. In 2022, zk-Rollups and a sharded data structure could increase ETH's max throughput from 45 tps, to 100,000 tps, setting the stage for ETH⟠ to become the universal store of value.
